What amp and voltage to put LiPo battery into storage mode

[WickedFog]

I know everyone hates to do it. And a SkyRC charger may or may not have a manual written in Chingrish. But you should still try to read through it. A lot of folks don't know chargers have settings you can go into to alter how your charger performs. Now, most people shouldn't mess with that stuff. But there are things in the settings and the manual which will help you understand how your particular charger operates.

The only thing you have to set on a lipo charger is the amperage you wish to charge/discharge at. The charger will handle the voltage and everything else. You typically want to set that change/discharge rate to 1C which is the capacity of the pack. For example, if you have a 5000mAh battery the 1C is going to be 5000mAh or 5A, if you have a 3200mAh lipo then 1C is 3.2A, and a 6600mAh lipo would be 6.6A. Just FYI.
